Full of warmth, wit, and voluptuous romance, the Perfect Fit series embraces the holiday spirit with an exclusive new novella--Have Yourself a Curvy Little Christmas! On the first day of Christmas, former wild child Dina Gregory returns home to New York on a mission: To find the father of her young son. Making him take responsibility for the child he helped create is the only thing on Dina's wish list. Instead, she finds herself in an awkward run-in with his stuffy older brother, Ben. Ben has never liked Dina. But he can't help but admire her tenacity—and her bold beauty. Being trapped together during a holiday blizzard offers him a glimpse into what it would be like to have a family, and to fall truly in love. Could it be that Dina has reignited his Christmas spirit? The only thing Ben knows for sure is that her heart is a gift to behold...and he will never let go. Look for Dangerous Curves Ahead and Thrown for a Curve, both from St. Martin's Paperbacks.

They also run across a creepy Miss Havisham-type hell-bent on reuniting with her long-dead husband just in time for Christmas--even if it means taking Chess and Terrible down with her into the City of Eternity... If Chess and Terrible don't manage to keep these ghosts in the past, they won't have a future...
